This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Am B E7 Am

While horsemen ride across the green

Am B E7 Am

Snow White still remains unseen.

F G Abdim Am Abdim

And Pegasus, the winged horse, 4x343x

Am B E7 Am

relays his messages by Morse.

Dm F+/C# F/C F+/C#

And like some pirate sailor x4322x

Dm F+/C# F/C

we crossed the Spanish Main

Am B E7 Am

and brought our magic carpet

F7 (hold for 8 beats)

to a marble staircased plain.

(Riff)

While Handel plays his melody

doctors'cause uncertainty

and though I know the lifeguard's brave

there is no one for him to save.

And like some pirate sailor

we crossed the Spanish Main

and brought our magic carpet

to a marble staircased plain.

(Riff / flute solo over verse / guitar solo over chorus / riff)

Cock Robin views his frozen feet

and wraps them in a winding sheet

and calls out for his favourite drink,

the Persian that's as warm as mink.

And like some pirate sailor

we crossed the Spanish Main

and brought our magic carpet

to a marble staircased plain.
